october 12th- we made our first slide in scratch and our main charate and sorted out our wikis october 13th- i made the back rounnd for the second slide. we made nearly all our slides but the computer froze and we lost it all :( october 16th- we made some animations and worked out what animations we are going to use for each scene. october 21st- we made the end slide and we are just working out how to do our animations! october 22nd- today we did alot of our animations and did one of our voice records and finished our backrounds **


 * Evaluation

did you draw up a project plan? yes we did. we planned what our scenes and backrounds would look like and the characters. yes we mainly stuck with the plan excpet the occasional thing.

did you draw a story board? yes we did we made a word document with each secene, its name, the animations and characters.

did you stay with this plan? yes what we said in our plan we put in our actual project but we added some animations differently.

what were the difficulties you had with...

animation? well it was quite hard getting the right animations on the correct scenes and trying to find out how we used the different animations.

audio? we recorded a voice clip but when we did our project it wouldnt come up so we had a few problems with that and ended up not using it.

dialogue?
